What a month for Switzer! We rallied and hit our fund-raising goal during the month of October. Generosity did not stop there; 370 cans of food were donated to the Samaritan House to support needy Macomb families. Finally, the student body pledged to help others to stay drug free for Red Ribbon Week. Thank you to the PTO, Health Team and teachers for organizing such great activities that support our school.
Please make sure to follow security protocol before and during school. Only students and staff are allowed beyond the office unless you are a scheduled volunteer. If you need to speak with your student or drop anything off, we will be happy to help you in the office. Remember you must show ID to the camera to come in the building. We appreciate your patience and support.
Our Parent/Teacher conferences are scheduled for Thursday, November 7 and Thursday, November 14. This is another opportunity to meet with your teacher and find out how your child is progressing both academically and socially this year. It is extremely important for you to spend time with your child’s teacher to discuss his/her progress and see how you may help your child at home.
Here are some helpful hints:
Before the conference:
- Make a list of things to tell your child’s teacher
- Make a list of questions to ask the teacher
During the conference:
- Please be on time and be understanding of our need to meet with each parent
- Start the conference with a positive note
- Listen carefully and discuss any questions and concerns you may have about your child’s academic and social progress
After the Conference:
- Discuss the conference with your child
- Stress the good things the teacher said and talk about the suggestions made for improvement
Our primary goal is to meet with each child’s parents during the conference window. We look forward to seeing you!
Sincerely,
Jacob Palmer
Principal
